Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers make thoughtful use of their free time, whether at home, at a gathering or out exploring a place. Send proposals through the Contact page rather than submitting a finished article.

What to pitch

Strong ideas have a defined reader, a distinct subject and a useful point. You might compare two ways to shape an afternoon, explain the background to a pastime, or offer a focused plan for a particular kind of outing. Keep the scope manageable and make clear what readers will take away.

What makes a good submission

Use plain English, support factual claims and flag details that may vary by place or change over time. Original work is required; identify any material that is not yours and explain its source. We do not accept invented anecdotes, unsupported claims or copy built around a product placement.

How to send a proposal

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial option. Include a working title, a short summary, the intended reader and a brief note on why the subject suits Southern Leisure Guide. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication.
